I don't know how long it took, but it wasn't until another eunuch appeared outside the prison door with two little eunuchs that Xia Lixun came back to his senses.

The person who came was the personal attendant next to the crown prince Xia Yunhao, named Sande.

Seeing his arrival, Xia Lixun hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly, and then glanced at the food boxes held by the two little eunuchs, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was full of irony.

"Hey, who's been here?" Sander saw the food basket at Xia Lixun's feet, and exclaimed suspiciously, his sharp voice obviously showing a little nervousness.

Xia Lixun looked at him sarcastically: "Wasn't it sent by the prince?" I didn't expect the royal brother to be so good to this king, and I was afraid that this king would not be used to eating in prison, so he kept sending people to deliver food to this king. ”

Tander's face was a little puzzled and a little ugly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only explained that he came to deliver food to King Fengdeok!

He was about to summon the jailer over to ask who had come, when the man sitting on the ground suddenly said, "Grandpa Sang, please go back, this king has already used food, so don't bother Grandpa Sang." As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow and pointed to something from a woman at his feet.

Sander's face turned cold: "Since King Fengde has already used food, then the slave will not disturb King Fengde." Tomorrow the minions will come again to deliver food to King Bongdeok. After speaking, he coldly greeted the two little eunuchs, "Bring all the things back." ”

The three of them walked to the gate of the prison, and Sang De angrily went to the jailer to ask about the situation, but one of the jailers suddenly told him: "Father-in-law Sang, it's really unfortunate, the brother who just guarded King Fengde didn't know why he died suddenly, but he frightened us, so Haode died in one fell swoop." ”

Sander was shocked: "Do you know how he died?" ”

The jailer shook his head: "How do you know, no, I have just sent someone to transport the body away." Seeing that there were not enough people, the Criminal Department deliberately sent a small one to replace him temporarily. ”

Sander frowned, didn't say anything, only explained a few words and left in a hurry.

This matter is too strange, and he will definitely report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

I don't know who is so bold as to dare to break into the prison without permission to deliver food to King Fengde, and the jailer died inexplicably. It may have been killed by the man who delivered the food. This is to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to quickly send someone over to investigate.

And Xia Lixun, who watched Sander leave, slowly retracted his gaze, his eyes fell on his feet, and he glanced at the food that had not been moved, and the arrogance in his eyes gradually converged, and suddenly became complicated.

I don't know how long later, the cell door was suddenly opened, and a man dressed in jailer clothes walked in, knelt on one knee, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Lord Wang, my subordinates are late, please ask Lord Wang to surrender." ”

"Get up." Xia Lixun raised his chin slightly, staring at the man in front of him coldly and arrogantly.

The man stood up in response, clenched his fists and said, "Lord Qi, everything has been arranged, please leave the prison quickly." ”

"Hmm." Xia Lixun stood up slowly, with his hands behind his back, holding his chest straight, he walked in front of him coldly and arrogantly, and walked to the door of the prison, he suddenly turned his head, and a trace of gloom suddenly appeared in his slightly narrowed eyes: "Be quick, don't forget that there is also the Criminal Department, after tonight, if the prison and the Criminal Department are not cleaned up, you will come to see the king tomorrow!" ”

After speaking, he swaggered out of the cell door with his chin raised.

……。

Overnight, the capital of Shuxia Kingdom was on fire.

No, it should be regarded as a fire in the prison and the Ministry of Punishment, I don't know where the wildfire came from, but it burned the prison and the Ministry of Punishment into two ruins overnight-

When the minister of the DPRK and China heard the news and rushed to the sky, two fires rushed to the sky, not to mention extinguishing the fire, just looking at the blazing sea of fire was enough to make people's backs chill and retreat.

Above the early dynasty, the Jinluan Palace, which was supposed to be the discussion of the courtiers, could not hear a word from the ministers, only the voice of the prince who was angry above.

"Check! Quickly send someone to thoroughly investigate how the prison and the criminal department caught fire! ”

"You waste, why don't you save it when you see it on fire?"

"Why do the good ones catch fire? Do you know what kind of responsibility this palace will bear if my father returns? ”

“……”

In the Jinluan Palace, the sound of anger above is continuous, and the birds below are silent.

Not to mention the fire in the prison, and all the prisoners inside were also buried in the fire, including King Fengde, who was only imprisoned in the prison yesterday. The same is true of the compound of the Criminal Department, not only were all the people on patrol at night burned, but not even a clean corner was left.

With such a big move, such a blazing fire, who would believe that it was a heavenly fire? It can be seen how careful the person behind this should be.

And the most suspicious person is scolding from above at the moment. None of the people below dared to say much.

Who didn't know that the crown prince wanted to deal with King Fengdeok, now it's okay, King Fengdeok disappeared with that fire. The prince should be happy, right?

As a result, the more fiercely the people above scolded, the more disdainful the courtiers below became.

Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trying to cover it up?

……

Admiral Patrol Mansion

Somewhere in the middle of the courtyard

The woman who hid in the boudoir and didn't know how long she cried heard the maid's call, so she opened the door with a pair of big, red and swollen eyes.

Looking at her eyes that were swollen like goldfish eyes, the maid was almost startled.

"Miss...... The old man sent someone to let you go to the study, saying that he had something to tell you. ”

“…… I know. The woman's face still had tears that had not been wiped away, and her voice was extremely hoarse and choked.

The maid wanted to leave, but when she saw her like this, she seemed to be a little uneasy, so she opened her mouth several times, and Zuihou still had the courage to say: "Miss, King Fengde has already gone, didn't you already know that he would have this catastrophe?" People can't be resurrected after death, so you just want to open up. ”

“…… Well. The woman nodded lightly, then waved her hand and said, "You go down, tell the people on the master's side that I will be there later." ”

She had already expected this result, and even the emperor's whereabouts are unknown now, let alone him who is injured. The prince was determined to put him to death, and the prison was under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was from the prince's faction.

Fortunately, I have seen him Zuihou once, and I have no regrets in this life.

Crying, crying, it's time to let go!

Without him, he no longer has to be ridiculed by the world, and he should marry with peace of mind. It's all about to pass quickly......

Liu Boyu waited in the study for nearly half an hour before Liu Xuelan appeared.

Looking at her obvious crying appearance, Liu Boyu guessed that she already knew everything, so he simply stopped beating around the bush and said seriously:

"King Fengdeok's matter, my father couldn't intervene, everything came too suddenly......"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Xuelan interrupted his words: "I know, I don't mean to blame you. You don't have to worry about me regretting my marriage, and since I've agreed to do it, I'll do what I say. I went to see him in the prison yesterday, and I broke off with him completely, and even now that he appears in front of me, I swear I will never look at him again. So you don't have to worry about it. ”

Liu Boyu originally wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard one of the words, his eyes widened: "You said you went to the prison to see him?" When did you go? ”

Liu Xuelan pursed her lips: "It was just yesterday evening." "Even the palace she can come and go as she pleases, what else is there she doesn't dare to go? Isn't it just to look at the waist card, she can steal it from others at will.

Liu Boyu's face was very ugly, and it could even be said that he was particularly nervous, glanced at the closed door, and suddenly lowered his voice and reprimanded: "Why do you always do such foolish things!" For example, if there is a fire in the prison and the criminal department today, and the prince is ordering his father to thoroughly investigate the arsonist, but now you tell your father that you have been to the prison, do you want to die? ”

Liu Xuelan lifted her eyelids and said disdainfully: "What, do you still suspect that I set the fire?" Okay, if you want me to die and accompany King Fengdeok, then you can arrest me and hand me over to the crown prince. ”

Hearing this, Liu Boyu glared at her angrily and couldn't say a word.

Let her die to accompany King Bongdeok? She'd have thought!

"Have you ever told anyone about going to the prison?" Liu Boyu asked with a serious face.

Liu Xuelan shook her head: "It's not a glorious thing, what do I tell others to do?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Boyu breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said patiently and sternly: "You must not say this to anyone but your father, and you are not allowed to mention it to anyone, you know?" Otherwise, if something happens, not only will your father not be able to protect you, but even your father will not be able to get out of it. ”

Although she didn't like to listen to him, Liu Xuelan still nodded. After calming down, she asked rhetorically:

"Why, don't you dare to admit what the prince did by himself, and you still want to help him find a scapegoat?" That prince is really a man who has suffered a thousand cuts! In order to get rid of King Fengdeok, he actually made such a big mess, and afterwards pretended to be an important person to investigate the case, didn't he know that the more he was like this, the more shameful it was?

When Liu Boyu heard her question, he suddenly sighed: "This fire must have nothing to do with the prince. ”

Liu Xuelan sneered with disdain: "How much benefit did the prince give you to let you talk to him like this?" ”

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Liu Boyu glared at her coldly and said, "The prince asked him to investigate this matter thoroughly, and he also wanted to give the emperor an explanation." After all, the emperor is not in the court, and these days it is the crown prince who is in charge of the country. And the prison and the criminal department are important places, if such a big thing happens, if the emperor knows, he will definitely investigate the responsibility of the prince's ineffective supervision of the country. At the smallest, the prince may be punished, and if the prince's position is bigger, the prince's position may not be guaranteed. I also had some suspicions that the prince did it, but then I thought about it carefully, even if the prince had no brains, it would be impossible for him to do such a detrimental thing to others. What if King Bondeok is removed, is his position as crown prince more important than King Bondeok's life? Therefore, I do not think that the crown prince was responsible for this fire. ”

Listening to his analysis, Liu Xuelan suddenly became stunned. Isn't it the crown prince? So who is that?

It is no coincidence that two places are not in the same place, but there is a fire at the same time......

It's him......

Is it possible?

Seeing that his daughter was stunned, Liu Boyu didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly said: "That Bai Yuhao seems to like you a lot, and today he sent someone to the house to place an invitation, inviting you to go to Nanhu Lake the day after tomorrow. If you're all right, go back to your room. As long as you remember to go to the appointment the day after tomorrow. ”

It stands to reason that men and women should not meet before they get married, but because the heads of the two families are both officials in the court and have contacts on weekdays, Liu Boyu does not seem to have too much control over the mutual interactions between children. What's more, the daughter in front of her can't be compared with other women at all, because she has been living abroad since she was a child, no matter how she teaches, she has a little scattered and casual.

In addition, in order to prevent Liu Xuelan from repenting of his marriage, he intended to let the two have more contact, so that Bai Yuhao, the future son-in-law, could enter Liu Xuelan's heart as soon as possible to replace the position of King Fengde.

Of course, Liu Xuelan didn't know what he was planning behind the scenes, and when she heard Liu Boyu's words, she didn't refuse, and nodded in response.

When she walked out of the study, Liu Xuelan was still a little distracted. There are some incomprehensible questions that are always on my mind.

Just thinking about it, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her head, scolding herself.

It's really a shameless one, no wonder people don't like you, he's dead and you're still thinking about what he's doing, there's a good man waiting for him in front of him, and he should clean up his mood and live the days ahead.

Perhaps, that Bai Gongzi can really get into her eyes......

As for the bastard...... Now that he's dead, to hell with him!

And at this moment, the man who was listening to the news of his subordinates somewhere suddenly sneezed in front of his subordinates with a very bad image, and suddenly, he was so shocked that his subordinates who were reporting the news wanted to find a hole in the ground and bury themselves, and he accidentally saw his own master's embarrassment......

outskirts

Two figures, one tall and one short, walked on the tree-lined path

In the past few days, if you want to say what Bai Xinran has experienced the most, it is that she suddenly found that her martial arts skills are extremely poor.

Especially after seeing Miss Liu's skills, she felt deeply inferior.

"Mo Yu, do you think my martial arts can still grow?" The two of them chatted casually while looking for some traces.

Yan Moyu took her hand, listened to her question, and glanced at her sideways: "This is enough, there is a husband, and you don't need to increase your martial arts." ”

Seeing the skills of the young lady of the Liu family, he was glad that his woman had not reached that level, otherwise if he wanted to take her body, wouldn't it take a lot of effort every time?

If you have this energy, it is better to use it in other places, such as when the two of you are sleeping together......

Bai Xinran didn't know what he was thinking, if he knew that a man was selfish and even had a dirty mind, he would probably slap him away at this time.

"I see that Blood Shadow is good, and I'll let Blood Shadow teach me another day. You can't always rely on your protection when something happens, right? You're going to make me feel useless. ”

A certain master looked ahead, and said lightly: "The blood shadow itself is too murderous, and it is not suitable to teach you." ”

"What about Yin Du?"

"Yin Du is a man, it's even more inappropriate to teach you."

"What about you, can't you teach me a few nirvana?"

"My husband is busy on weekdays, so I don't have time to teach you." Taught her to deal with him?

He wouldn't do this kind of thing to shoot himself in the foot.

"......" Bai Xinran suddenly stopped, and the white eyeballs shot towards the man, "What do you mean?" This is not suitable and that is not appropriate, or I can learn by myself if you find a book! ”

Regular courses can't be taken, so she can do correspondence self-study, right?

"Cough~" Yan Moyu suddenly coughed lightly, and when he turned back, his eyes looked at her gently, overflowing with a trace of distress: "I don't want you to work too hard for my husband." Wait until you're well-healed, is it feasible? ”

Bai Xinran pursed his lips. She's just proposing it now, this man, if he doesn't play tricks, she has his surname!

As the two walked and walked, they suddenly noticed that something was wrong in front of them, and they couldn't help but stop, Yan Moyu took her directly to a big tree, cut open a small branch that blocked the view, and looked at a group of black-clothed people not far away.

"Listen carefully, a few of them must be hiding around here, you have to search next to each other, you can't let them go anywhere, this time you must find them!" The man in black in the lead had a grim face and commanded coldly.

The remaining dozen or so men in black were preparing to disperse after receiving the order.

At this moment, Yan Moyu suddenly kicked on the branch of the tree, causing the big tree where they were to rustle.

And he quickly flew away with a white heart-

"There's movement over there, chase after it!" I only heard someone shouting from one of the men in black.

In an instant, more than a dozen people quickly rushed towards the place where there was movement—

Just after the men in black were all chasing after the 'movement', behind a boulder somewhere, a voice that was neither male nor female sounded:

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Looking at Xia Gao, whose arm was bleeding non-stop, Dequan was so anxious that his eyes were red. I have never seen the emperor so seriously injured, it was all caused to save him.

"Don't get in the way, this injury won't kill me." Xia Gao's face was calm, and his eyes were full of haze. It's not because I'm hurt, it's because of the situation at hand. It seems that they will be found wherever they go, and they can reach the capital in three days, but now it is the fifth day, but they have not yet reached the gate of the city.

I don't know how many people are waiting to take his life ahead. This time, he is destined to be more auspicious, but I don't know what happened to King Fengde and King Cheng, have they arrived in the capital?

He didn't expect that there would be such a sinister thing waiting for him when he left Beijing this time.

It's okay if he dies, but he hasn't been able to recognize King Cheng yet, and he doesn't want to leave these regrets......

If God has eyes, this time he can get him out of danger, and the first thing he will do when he returns to Beijing is to tell the world about the life of the king......

The blood shadow was bandaging Xia Gao's wounds, and along the way, she was indifferent and speechless, perhaps because Xia Gao's experience along the way was too hard to remember, so that when he faced the blood shadow, he suddenly restrained his majesty and domineering, and became a little more kind to his elders.

"Blood Shadow, I gave you to Princess Cheng, and I am very pleased that you can still protect me like this. I didn't have much contact with Princess Cheng, but I could see that Princess Cheng was an easy-going person. If you want to break your vows in the future, you may turn to Princess Cheng, and maybe she will agree. ”

The blood shadow didn't look up, but replied very coldly: "The emperor is too worried, the blood shadow has never thought of being free. The blood shadow is given by the emperor today, even if the blood shadow is now serving by the side of Princess Cheng, but the blood shadow will not forget the emperor's kindness. ”

Xia Gao sighed. Before, he admired her cold temperament, but now, he suddenly felt a headache. It's really hard to talk to someone who doesn't eat oil and salt......

"If you want to marry in the future, go and ask the princess, and she may be able to give you a good marriage."

"Back to the emperor, Blood Shadow has never considered marrying."

Yin Du observed the surrounding situation on the side, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he immediately wanted to laugh. Due to Xia Gao's presence, he had to hold back a smile and twist his face away.

The emperor really looks up to this woman!

Don't look at what this woman looks like, and she is still married, who dares to marry such a woman who is more fierce than a man?

Isn't it long?

This woman doesn't know how to be modest, just her virtue of daring to kill anything she sees, and she said that she doesn't want to marry, I'm afraid she can't find someone to marry, right?

Just as Yin Du was snickering at the blood shadow, suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of two figures flying towards them, he was startled, and was about to inform Xia Gao and others, when suddenly there was a pain in his chest, and a small stone hit his acupuncture point and fixed his whole person.

Landing smoothly, Bai Xinran patted his chest. It's dangerous, if she hadn't reminded her man to fix a certain nagging subordinate first, I'm afraid that his exclamation would have attracted the enemy again.

Yin Du saw the person who came clearly, and he cried on his face, but unfortunately he was even ordered dumb hole.

Bai Xinran walked over and glared at him fiercely: "We just lured people away, you are not allowed to babble, you know?" Otherwise, don't blame us for throwing you here. ”

Yin Du blinked vigorously, and understood her words.

Yan Moyu sighed, walked over and raised his hand to point two places on him.

"Ahem, cough~" Yin Du was relieved and quickly flashed away. If you don't let him speak, won't he just stand far away?

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Looking at Xia Gao's bandaged hands, Bai Xinran stepped forward and asked.

Seeing that it was the couple, Xia Gao's eyes showed excitement: "Why are you here?" ”

Yan Moyu didn't answer his words, but stepped forward to help him up from the grass mat, and said in a low voice: "This place is not suitable for a long time, I have led them away for the time being, and when they can't find anyone in front, I'm afraid they will turn back." ”

In addition to the expressionless face of the blood shadow and the lack of any emotion, Dequan also seemed extremely excited, and hurriedly saluted the two: "The slave greets King Cheng and Princess Cheng." ”

Bai Xinran helped him up: "Father-in-law, you don't have to be polite outside." Looking up, she looked at Xia Gao, "Your Majesty, the road ahead is not easy to pass, and now we can only retreat to Lu Yun Mountain." ”

"To Luyun Mountain?" Xia Gao was a little puzzled.

Bai Xinran nodded: "Your Majesty, you pass by on this road, presumably those people have already set up an ambush on the road." If you continue to move forward, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. At present, we can only retreat to Lu Yunshan and find a way back to Beijing. ”

To turn back to Lu Yunshan, Xia Gao obviously felt a little troublesome. After all, it will take a lot of time to come and go, and besides, there are still dozens of miles to reach the city gate. It's a little unwilling to step back like this.

Seeing his reluctance, Bai Xinran patiently explained: "Your Majesty, those people must be chasing you here, then they will definitely search this road closely." If you insist on moving forward, you are showing them the way and constantly exposing your tracks, even if you are lucky enough to return to Beijing, it is extremely risky. And Lu Yunshan They have already searched it, and they will definitely not turn back to search again. So even if it takes us a little more time to return to Luyun Mountain now, we can avoid the danger. You say, isn't that the truth? ”

Listening to her words, Xia Gao not only suddenly realized, but also showed a somewhat appreciative smile on Long Yan: "What Princess Cheng said is reasonable." ”

Bai Xinran didn't say much to him, and now that she was outside, no amount of red tape and etiquette was worth the importance of her life. arranged for Yin Du to walk in the front to explore the way, she helped Dequan, Yan Moyu helped Xia Gao to walk in the middle, and the blood shadow walked in Zuihou, and several people kept walking in the direction of Lu Yunshan-

This time when they went to Lu Yun Mountain, what surprised Bai Xinran and Yan Moyu was that Xia Gao actually took them to the top of the hill that night.

He even led them into the cave where the jade coffin was kept.

"Yu'er...... She is your biological mother. Pointing to the jade coffin, Xia Gao faded away from the imperial aura of his body, and said to Yan Moyu with a sad face. But when he spoke, his eyes didn't dare to look at Yan Moyu's expression.

Among the people present, Dequan knew the truth, and he also knew what Xia Gao meant at the moment, that is, he wanted to tell the truth.

The blood shadow still looked unhappy and angry, and even stood next to the stone cave door as a gatekeeper.

Only Yin Du's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. You know, he has been in contact with the old lady in the house for many years, why is there an old lady here?

One is enough for people to stand it, and add one, how many mothers does their grandfather have?

Fortunately, Xia Gao Longwei was present, so he didn't dare to cross the courtesy, otherwise he would not be able to help but step forward and open the coffin to see what was going on.

After Xia Gao finished speaking, he couldn't wait for a response, and then he looked at Yan Moyu with a straight face, and was suddenly very surprised.

"You, you ......"

"Your Majesty, we all know it." Bai Xinran took the initiative to reply for Yan Moyu.

Seeing that his man began to be emotionally abnormal again, while feeling distressed, he stepped forward and held his hand that was hanging by his side and clenched into a fist.

Xia Gao thought about it carefully, guessed something, and didn't ask how they knew, but looked at the silent son in front of him with a little melancholy.

"Yu'er ......" couldn't help but whisper.

Yan Moyu's face was cold and gloomy, making it impossible to see what he was thinking, but when those black eyes looked at the jade coffin for a moment, the grief was particularly obvious.

"I wonder, how did they die?" After a long time, he lightly opened his thin lips and asked coldly, word by word.

Xia Gao turned around and walked to the jade coffin, his heartache and discomfort made his voice suddenly darken. But he also began to tell some things about the year-

"When I met your mother, I was only the prince of Shu, and that time I went to Beiyuan on the order of the first emperor and met your mother there. Because of the errand, I had to hide my identity, in Beiyuan for half a year, I decided to take your mother back to Beijing after the errand, but I didn't expect that after she learned my true identity, she not only refused to return to Beijing with me, but even had to draw a line with me. The reason is that I can't give her the position of concubine......

I originally planned to give her more time to think about it, but not long after returning to Beijing, I heard that she was married to the king of the northern plains, who had been her childhood sweetheart since childhood. Eight months later, when I heard the news of her birth, I was heartbroken and angry. So I sent someone to Beiyuan to investigate secretly, and learned that not only the child she gave birth to was mine, but also that her marriage with the king of the Beiyuan domain was also fake.

Not long after, the first emperor passed the throne to me, and in order to see her and the child, I issued a decree to summon the king of Beiyuan back to Beijing, and renamed him King Cheng, and asked him to stay in Beijing permanently......

I originally thought that I would leave your mother and the king of Beiyuan in the capital, so that she could change her mind about me, but I don't know why, that night ......"

Speaking of this, Xia Gao choked up a little, staring at the jade coffin for a moment, as if he was deeply caught in the memory-

"That night, the king of the northern plains suddenly died in the palace, I heard the news, and immediately sent someone to check, but I heard your aunt say that your mother was too sad, and in order to repay the kindness of the king of the northern plains, she had left you to drink poison and committed suicide, and went with the king of the northern plains......

I didn't believe it, so I took the imperial doctor and ran to the Chengwang Mansion in person...... I didn't expect your mother to really give up on you.

You were still in your infancy, and when your aunt carried you to me, I was so grief-stricken that I didn't know how to place you. So I listened to your aunt's words and asked her to pretend to be your mother and princess to raise you, so that she could give you a home......"

Xia Gao muttered about the events of the year, and it was not difficult to hear his remorse and self-blame.

He didn't even know who was to blame for all this.

Is it to blame that he has already married and had children?

Blame her for being stubborn and disobedient?

Or should God not play tricks on him like this and make him fall in love with her?

Yan Mo Yu listened to everything he said, his closed eyes made it impossible to see his emotions, but Bai Xinran, who was holding his hand, deeply felt the trembling in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law didn't commit suicide!" In front of everyone, Bai Xinran suddenly shouted such a sentence.

She had experienced the pain of abandonment, and now that they were told that her husband had also been abandoned, she could not watch him suffer such pain. Even if she didn't have real evidence to prove whether her mother-in-law committed suicide or homicide, she couldn't let her man fall into this kind of pain.

Her words suddenly made the two men shake violently, and they all looked at each other.

Bai Xinran swallowed, she knew that if she didn't say something, these two men would not believe it.

"Your Majesty, my mother-in-law will not commit suicide, since she is such a strong person, even if she falls in love with you, she has not compromised for you in the slightest, how can she find a short time in order to repay the kindness of a childhood sweetheart? Moreover, if she was so easy to leave her children to find her shortcoming, when she learned that she had children, it would be impossible to keep them, and the reason why she and King Beiyuan pretended to be married was not to protect the children and give them a stable life? If she was really so vulnerable, she would have collapsed a long time ago, instead of waiting until the death of King Kitahara to kill herself. ”

"Dye?" Yan Moyu's trembling hand held her back, and there was a slight emotion in the depths of her painful eyes. He knew she was saying it for him......

"Mo Yu, you calm down first and listen to what I say." Bai Xinran patted his hand with relief and looked at Xia Gao, "Your Majesty, you may not believe what I said, but if you really think about it calmly, you will definitely find a lot of doubts." And what I want to say is, do you have evidence that my mother-in-law committed suicide by poisoning? Or do you just see what she looks like when she dies and decide that she committed suicide? ”

Xia Gao was stunned: "......"

After a long time, a trace of anger flashed in his sad eyes: "You mean Ying'er was killed by someone?" ”

Bai Xinran shook his head and sighed. This is the legendary love word grinding, the deeper you fall into, the more you can't see the reality clearly. I guess just like him, he would have made up his mind stupidly in the first place, right?

"Your Majesty, I still have to ask you the truth about my mother-in-law's death."

"Ask me?" Xia Gao was puzzled.

"Who said my mother-in-law committed suicide in the first place? Does she have proof? Besides, even if my mother-in-law committed suicide, how could she have left a letter or something, even if it wasn't for you, she should have given it to her child, right? Otherwise, wouldn't she regret that she just left? Or is she too free and easy, so free and easy that she just left the child she worked so hard to give birth to? Don't you think her reasons for suicide are too far-fetched? ”

Hearing this, Xia Gao suddenly strode over and looked at Bai Xinran with an angry face: "Tell me, who will kill Ying'er?" ”

Hearing this, Bai Xinran wanted to roll his eyes and give it to him. Come on, she's not a fortune teller, how does she know?

Everything is just an empirical extrapolation.

After learning what happened from the emperor's mouth, it also proved her original conclusion that her mother-in-law and the king of the northern plains were not poisoned at the same time!

Poison?

That's right!

"Your Majesty, I want to ask you one thing, have you ever asked someone to check how the King of the Northern Plains died?"

Xia Gao was silent and said, "I'm also very curious about the cause of King Beiyuan's death, but for some reason, even the imperial doctor can't see why he died. ”

That's right. Bai Xinran felt a little sure in his heart.

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, the sudden death of the King of the Northern Plains was not an accident, but someone deliberately poisoned him to his death."

Xia Gao's eyes widened, obviously unconvinced.

Bai Xinran let go of Yan Moyu's hand, asked Yin Du on the side to open the wooden coffin, and pointed to the corpse of the King of the Northern Plains and told Xia Gao about the suspicions.

"It is an indisputable fact that the color on his bones shows that he died of poisoning, and I don't know what kind of poison it was that you couldn't find out at the time. If we overturn my mother-in-law's suicide and re-examine the events of that year, perhaps you will find a lot of doubts. ”

"......" Xia Gao looked a little dazed. When he learned that Ying'er was married, he was extremely uncalm. Coupled with the accident, he almost didn't seriously think about those so-called suspicions. In his heart, Ying'er and the King of the North Plains are childhood sweethearts, and the King of the North Plains resolutely married her for the sake of her and the future of the children, and would rather protect her silently, so she may also go with him in order to repay the kindness of the King of the North Plains.

But now someone told him that Ying'er did not commit suicide, and the king of Beiyuan did not die violently for other reasons, but was deliberately murdered...... These were things he ignored back then!

"Your Majesty, let's imagine that if the king of Beiyuan suddenly dies, and then the news of his death reaches my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law commits suicide because of this, who will see what happened? Says who? Can there be other witnesses? ”

Hearing this, Xia Gao's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean...... Autumn water is gorgeous! ”

Bai Xinran frowned, she didn't expect the emperor to say such a name.

"Your Majesty, did Qiu Shuiyan tell you all this?"

"Yes!" Xia Gao clenched his fists tightly, and suddenly even the green tendons on his forehead protruded, "Back then, it was the housekeeper of the Chengwang Mansion who sent someone to the palace to deliver the news, saying that the king of Beiyuan died violently. Later, when I rushed to Chengwang's mansion, Ying'er had already passed away. And I asked carefully, only Qiu Shuiyan said that she witnessed her sister's suicide, and I was in deep pain at that time, and I also believed that Ying'er would go with the king of Beiyuan, and the imperial doctor couldn't find out the cause of the death of the king of Beiyuan, so I didn't suspect so much......"

“……？！” Bai Xinran lowered his head and sighed. This is the legend, but anyone who is in love has zero IQ!

"Dye." Yan Moyu, who had been silent all along, suddenly grabbed Bai Xinran's hand. "What you say is true? That woman killed my mother, right?! ”

Bai Xinran raised his head and saw that his scarlet eyes were condensed with a violent aura, and even the painful aura on his body turned into a cold and murderous aura.

This made her tremble a little.

"Moyu, don't be impulsive first, listen to me, okay?" Thinking that such a complicated thing would happen to him, she felt sorry for him in her heart, "We don't have evidence to prove that everything was done by that woman, so you must not act rashly." Even if you go back and persecute her, she won't necessarily admit it. Now the main thing is to find a breakthrough and try to let the facts speak for themselves.

The first thing we need to do is to find out what the poison of the King of the Northern Plains is, and start with the poison, maybe we can find some clues. Secondly, that woman is now in the Chengwang Mansion, as long as someone is looking for someone to monitor her and watch her every move, if she really does something wrong, one day, she will show some of her own feet.

Of course, this method may seem a bit clumsy, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but I believe that as long as the fox is one day, it will show its tail. As long as we find a breakthrough and investigate step by step, one day the truth will be revealed. ”
